Summary:
The Gallatin CUSD 7 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across three schools: Gallatin Elementary School, Gallatin High School, and Gallatin Junior High School. The district faces challenges with mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, but standout schools like Gallatin Junior High demonstrate strengths in English Language Arts.
Gallatin Junior High School ranks among the top 486 middle schools in Illinois and maintains a 3-star rating, outperforming the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency. However, the school struggles with mathematics, scoring well below average. In contrast, Gallatin Elementary School performs above the state average in English Language Arts but faces similar challenges in mathematics.
Across the district, high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggest significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the academic performance issues. While Gallatin High School maintains an 80.8% four-year graduation rate, it also has a concerning 6.6% dropout rate. The district's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios indicate that resources are available, which could be leveraged to address the identified areas of concern and drive improvements throughout the system.
